Cheshunt 0 – 1 Thurrock

Thurrock turn out winners in a hard fought match at a windy Theobalds Lane.

Thurrock too an early lead in the eighth minute when a wind-affected Poole free-kick deceived goalkeeper James May.

It was harsh on Cheshunt who had started brightly.

The second half was real nip-and-tuck football with both teams fiercely contesting every ball. But it was Thurrock who were making the chances as the game wore on and May more than atoned for the earlier error with several one-on-one saves.

In the end Thurrock hung on for all three points and thwarted Cheshunt’s push for an equaliser.
